Chapter 267 Packing
Liu Qingqing arranged the children's table in the empty room.
She had packed it in advance, so there was basically nothing extra.
Seeing that there was really nothing to clean in the kitchen, Lu Simei and Lu Ruyan were still busy setting out the dishes and moving the chairs.
Unlike the other two, Zhu Shuzhen sat steadily on the sofa, her smile as steady as ever.
"Sister-in-law, I was just thinking of asking you if you have enough bowls and chopsticks. I didn't expect your house is so well-equipped." Lu Ruyan is actually older than Liu Qingqing, but following her husband's example, she always calls Liu Qingqing sister-in-law.
She sighed inwardly, thinking that there were only three people in this family, and yet they had so many old pots and pans.
Liu Qingqing let them carry the plates and bowls: "We came here on the strong east wind. We didn't leave anything behind when we went back. We packed everything up here, so it seems like there are a lot of things."
Lu Ruyan nodded: "But we can't leave it behind. We all spent money to get here. It's good to bring it all here. We don't have to spend money to buy it."
Lu Simei sighed, "Really? I took the train when I came here, so I couldn't bring much with me. The postage was also quite expensive. I might as well have bought everything after I got here."
When the dishes were half served, Song Jinglin brought eight or nine people into the house.
As a group of people entered the room, they called out to their brother-in-law and sister-in-law, saying polite words like "I'm in trouble."
They had a day off the next day, so they had to drink with dinner.
The wine that Liu Qingqing took out was not the Moutai in her collection. That stuff would have to be kept for a few more decades.
However, after Song Jinglin took out Xining's specialty liquor, everyone kept praising it.
The tables outside were full. Liu Qingqing said a few polite words and took the three women into the inner room. The door was not closed, so they could hear each other's movements.
Song Jinglin and the others couldn't say what time they would arrive, and Liu Qingqing didn't want to sit at the same table with them.
"It's better if you do it this way, sister-in-law. We can eat in peace at the table without having to make noise with them." Lu Simei sat at one end of the table next to her youngest daughter and glanced at her children. They were quite obedient and sensible. Except for the potato chips that Liu Qingqing gave them at the beginning, they didn't touch the other dishes.
Liu Qingqing fried enough potato strips in this big pot, so she poured them out and divided them into three plates after serving them, so that the eight children would not have to fight over them.
Zhu Shuzhen winked at her daughter, and the little girl Yuting immediately withdrew her hand from the plate of French fries.
Zhu Shuzhen's expression improved a little. She thought that her own child should not do such a shameful thing as grabbing a broken potato as if it were a stranger to her.
Liu Qingqing called out, "Come on, come on, pick up your chopsticks, don't just sit there and talk." As she spoke, she stood up and picked up some food for a few people.
"Okay, don't worry, we'll do it ourselves."
Liu Qingqing understood the meaning and sat down. "That's fine. Although my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law and I haven't known each other for long, we'll definitely have to visit each other more often in the future. Everyone, please don't be shy and start eating. It's fate that we can sit here..."
The meal was nothing out of the ordinary, with a few stews: pork with vermicelli, eggplant with potatoes, and chicken with wood ear mushrooms.
The rest is some stir-fried fresh vegetables.
The food was not seasoned with sugar, so Zhu Shuzhen ate a little and then put down her chopsticks.
She is a local, and she always unconsciously puts on airs when facing the foreign daughters-in-law in the compound.
Liu Qingqing didn't care about her. As long as they were okay on the surface, it was fine. Before, they would just nod and say hello when they met occasionally.
After this contact today, I vaguely felt the other party's mentality of looking down on everyone.
The children eat fast and run away fast.
